"The new decimation and STL exportation tools have filled the weakest link in my work flow from creation to fabrication. you could spend many thousands of dollars and not get a better decimator or translator."T.S. Wittelsbach - House of Wittelsbach - Jeweller

"The 3D Print Exporter continues to save my life on a daily basis. The quality I'm able to get out of ZBrush as a usable file that my other programs can handle has made me a happy camper. You have just opened up a new world for me!."Adam Ross - Idol Workshop

"Finally! - a direct export from ZBrush to print format! This tool will help decrease the time it takes to get a ZBrush sculpture ready for 3d print production, and open up the services of most 3D Printing Service Bureaus."
Bill Henderson - Creative Director - Offload Studios Inc.

"Going from the final design to rapid protoyping ready parts has been a timely production within itself... That has now been eliminated with Decimation Master and the 3D Printer Exporter plugin for ZBrush. The ability to go directly from ZBrush to a optimized scaled prototype part, eliminating any other software in between, is priceless. Once again Pixologic turns the technical to art."Jason Lopes - Senior Systems Engineer - Legacy Effects

That´s fantastic. Oh my god! I just woke up and I had to rub my eyes. My sister has a 3D printer in her goldsmith-school and I would only have to pay for the material. The only problem (providing that I have a cool model one day which is worth it to be printed *lol* ) is that she told me weeks ago that she can´t do it with a ztl.file.I searched for a software via internet and everything sounded sooo complicated.(Too complicated for me. ) And I realized that I´ll never be able to do that.3D Printexporter -- Fantastic news! I guess there are a few things I´m missing... this sounds too good to be true.. ?For example the guys at Offload seem to work on the models after receiving the files and they optimize them as far as I know. But I have nothing to loose if I try it.

Does anybody know if it´s possible to burn the files on a CD?I tried once to burn a data CD with ztl.files but it didn´t work.
